History of execution
Initial research project was executed in 2017 an was composed of two stages. The first one consisted in the development of assumptions of a study as a pert of which 19 individual ways of analyses of web pages were developed. The second stage consisted in testing how this approach works in practice on the example of comparative analysis of 42 web pages of Catholic dioceses in Poland. Differences registered in the course of the study allowed for a characterisation of the mentioned web pages from the viewpoint of the speed of action, the manner of creating addresses, the arrangement of addresses, the quality of texts, the colors used, and the searchability in search engines.
